What Customers Say

“What has really impressed me about dealing with Golden Cypress is that you have gone out of your way to provide us with a specific grade of timber suitable for the building of bee boxes so that our quality requirements are satisfied while the cost has been kept to a minimum.”

Charles Hamilton, Gold Coast Natural Beekeepers Inc

One of the things we were looking for in this purchase was sustainable timber. We do not wish to be obtaining timber from sources that are taking from natural bushland or clear felling. Although an exotic species, we are pleased that this timber comes from farm woodlots as it allows us to maintain the Demeter standard to which we adhere for the building of our materials and keeping of bees.
